I've been collecting these antique wooden toy cars for about five years now. They were made in Washington State during the late 1920's and early 1930's. Cars measure about 10 inches long and are predominately made of wood with minimal metal parts. While the body styles are all the same, the colors and roof styles vary greatly. Interested to know if any other fellow collectors own any or have seen some around their respective local areas. Thanks for your time.
Welcome to CW!
These look interesting. Do you know what company made them, or were they made by a local hobbyist?
I have collected for a long time and have more toy vehicles than you can imagine, but don't remember seeing these before.
Ok, I found them. They were made by Tillioum Toys Inc from Tacoma Wa. and appears made during WWII like most of the old wood toys.
Nice collection.
Thanks, AzTom! Yes, they were made by Tillicum Toys Inc. Tillicum means friend in Chinook Jargon.
